Conference Participant Testimonials

Jill Yost, Autism Specialist, Bemidiji Regional Interdistrict Council

“This is one of the best conferences I have attended. I walked away with so much information, resources, new ideas and tools to share with my teams.”

Jeanne Tuthill, Speech & Language Pathologist

“I loved getting to ask specific questions about products, learn about and touch and try new products, make connections with vendors!”

Stacey Hauser, AT Specialist, NATP

“Such amazing and powerful sessions. The thing I enjoyed most, was getting to talk with others from around the world, and getting the chance to learn from experts in the field. “

Retha Burns, Administrator, Intermediate District 287

“The presentations were excellent and relevant and as an Administrator – I learned so much about my staff, their needs and their practice. Being able to attend with my staff helped us build up one another as a team, and increased my insight into their needs in order to serve students in a more productive way. We could dream of a future we could build together.”

Lou Ann Cavett, AT Specialist, Jackson Public Schools

“It is a big conference but I felt like I could have stopped and asked anyone, presenter or attendee, for advise or to answer a question. Once you go to CTG, you always come back. I am looking forward to attending next year.”

Cheryl Wesle, Parent

“This is a WORLD CLASS conference, and everyone involved with the planning and implementation deserve tremendous praise. Thank you!”
